My husband and I want to travel primarily to parts of eastern Europe to visit various Christmas markets from mid December to the end of December. Cities we are leaning towards include Vienna, Zagreb, Riga, Bratislava, Krakow, and Gdansk. Possibly Budapest too.
I'm searching for feedback and suggestions from fellow travelers. I have dates for the markets in some of the cities. We are also wanting assurance of being able to enjoy a nice meal on Christmas Day; reading various websites, it has been suggested that staying at a highly rated hotel should guarantee an open restaurant.
We plan to travel by train to various cities but would really like to settle on just three cities for accommodations.
Appreciate any help/advice you can offer.
Many thanks
